Troop Leader Training (TLT)

Training youth to be leaders is an ongoing process that begins immediately when a Scout accepts a new position in his troop, including that of becoming a new member of a patrol, or when he is elected to a leadership position in his patrol or troop.

Troop Leadership Training (TLT) is Scoutmaster-directed training, divided into three modules and designed to be used by the Scoutmaster in separate or back-to-back sessions.

The first Module is conducted within a week of a Scout's acceptance of his new leadership responsibilities and should always immediately follow patrol and troop elections.

The TLT sessions are organized into topics that explain

  • What he must Know to successfully fill his leadership position
  • What a youth leader must Be to be successful
  • What he must Do to carry out his new responsibilities.

Each module should take no more than one hour.

Complete training materials are available through the local council.
